Yes, I am a true zin junkie, so I saw something different than before and I decided to pick it up.  More than what I had before, I went for the alcohol content, which is 15.5%; this translates to 31 proof.

This wine isn't bad, and it's really more on the darker side of cherries mixed with cocoa, but I expected more from it in complexity.  Not bad, but this is more for the subdued taste palate.

We believe in finding something that you like the taste of, outside of the basic brands that you have been force-fed over the years through a combination of ethnically targeted advertising, and what people in your family have historically been drinking.
